Genealogy
Descendants of John Freeman Generation No. 1 1. John1 Freeman was born Bef. 1775 in Poss.
England, and died Abt. 1838 in Bladen Co., NC. He married (1) Eleanor
[Unknown] Bef. 1800. She was born Aft. 1775, and died Bef. 1822 in prob.
Bladen Co., NC. He married (2) Nancy [Unknown] Bef. 1833. Notes for John Freeman: THIS JOHN FREEMAN, SR.'s RECORDS ---------------------------------------------------------------- One record indicates that Mary Freeman's mother was "Nancy or Eleanor". Nancy
is seen twice in deed records. It is probable that John married twice, and that
Eleanor was the first spouse. John Sr. did not appear on the 1840 census, but was mentioned in land records
of 1834 and 1836, indicating his intent to live on land "the rest of his life"
that he gave to his son. In 1834 this John Freeman sold land to his son John Freeman, Jr. In 1822 this John Freeman gave land to his daughter Mary Singletary. No surviving deeds have been located linking Stephen Freeman to this family.
Only the proximity of his widow during the 1840 census and DNA results
indicating common ancestry of descendants of William Freeman and Stephen Freeman
indicates the relationship. Descendants of Stephen indicate that he was born in
England. DNA records indicate that a closely related family emigrated from London to
Philadelphia in 1830, and that family had baptisms at St. John the Martyr,
Parish, Southwark, Surrey (near London). Southwark was adjacent Surrey, and near
Deptford, on the southeast side of London. OTHER BLADEN, ROBESON and COLUMBUS COUNTY FREEMAN INFORMATION:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several Freeman families, possibly related, were in Bladen County througout
the 18th century. Deed records listed below track the progression of names and
dates. A John Freeman received two land grants in 1735 on the "NE side of the NW
River." These grants are not thought to be adjacent to the land described by
most other deeds. In 1753 in Bladen Co., NC, one John Freeman's estate was inventoried by
Thomas Tully and Neill Beard, with Ruth Freeman admrx. It was appraised by the
same men, and was attested before Benjamin Fitz Randolph, though no relationship
is known. Stephen Freeman received his land, 100 acres upon Mine Creek in 1767. Mines
Creek is today located northwest of Tarheel, almost to the Cumberland Co. line.
Stephen was listed (along with Thomas Freeman) in the 1763 census of Bladen Co.
Another Stephen Freeman was in the county later,thought to be a son of this John
Freeman, Sr. A Benjamin Freeman, in the western part of the county that became Robeson
Co., was probably born by 1750. His will, dated 25 Aug 1819, mentions son
Benjamin, daughters Elizabeth and Mary, sons Jacob, Hardy, and grandson Evan
Freeman Bryan. His land was sold to Sion Pittman in 1819. His land, described as
"on the west side of the Great Swamp" and "on the east side of Drowning Creek"
and "between the Great Swamp and Drowning Creek" was granted in from 1779 to
1787. Jacob Freeman was issued land in 1792 was on the west side of the Great
Swamp, which resembles a deed description of Benjamin Freeman, Sr. - this is
likely Benjamin's son Jacob. William Freeman received land in 1778 and 1779 on the east side of Drowning
Creek, indicating he was adjacent Benjamin Freeman. Benjamin, William and Jacob
may have been related.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another family, though to be mulatto, resided some distance from Bladenboro,
and is included as a research aid for other Bladen Co. Freeman researchers: Abraham Freeman lived southeast of present-day Bladenboro, several miles. He
received a land grant in 1765 "between the fork of Fryers Swamp and Slapass
Swamp." The land was later in Columbus Co., and several deeds were recorded
there. One lists his heirs: Isaac, Jacob, Samuel, Moses, Abraham (Jr.),
Alexander, and Eady Freeman. Eady was previously listed as Eady Jacobs. The tax lists of 1768 lists free black Freemans in Bladen County of Abraham,
Samuel, Roger and Susanna. These may be the same family that is mentioned above.
They were working for Daniel Bahoon. Roger Freeman received two land grants totalling 100 acres on the west side
of Fryer swamp in 1779-1780. This is south and/or west of Council. Nothing more
has been found about this Roger Freeman. In 1799 Abraham Freeman sold land on the Platt Swamp, which had been patented
by Peter Simmons, which is not currently shown on the Bladen Co. map. It is
probably in Columbus Co. A large, proud family of Freeman is documented in
Columbus County, descended from mulatto ancestors. Land grants in Bladen Co. were issued to Isaac Freeman - 1805, 1808 (between
Bogue and Slapass Swamps) and Samuel Freeman - 1810, which may be the heirs of
Abraham Freeman, Sr. A land transaction in 1822 indicates that Moses Freeman sold "part of the
Abraham Freeman land where he lived and died" adjacent to Samuel Freeman.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following Freeman families have left deed and census records into the
1800's. Most are thought to be white, unless otherwise indicated. A John Freeman received two land grants totalling 500 acres on the east side
of the Great Swamp in 1784, which he applied for in 1780. This may be my
ancestor. The 1800 census includes two James Freemans, apparently single, one page
apart. They did not live adjacent to other Freemans on the census. Three land
grants were issued to James Freemans in 1801 and 1802 "on the south side of the
Lake Road". John Freeman also appeared in the 1800 census, (possibly John
Freeman, Sr., with a wife, one young boy, possibly Stephen Freeman, and one
young girl, probably Mary Freeman). Lukey Freeman (black) was in the 1800 census. The 1810 census included John Freeman, Sr. The 1810 census also included Samuel Freeman, not yet 26, residing with two
women. One may have been his wife. This Samuel Freeman is recorded as white. He
appears to have left the county before 1820, although much of the land owned by
Abraham (possibly his father) was in the "new" Columbus county. The 1820 census lists this John Freeman aged over 45, his wife slightly
younger. In addition, the family included 5 girls under 10, 2 boys under 16, and
a young man 16-26. The 1820 census also indicates a Risen Freeman not yet 45 with two women,
probably his wife and mother. School records indicate that Risen's children were
James Freeman and Moses Freeman, who were attending school in 1827 in Bladen Co.
at Lennon's crossroads, south of Bladenboro. In the 1820 census, Mathew Freeman was 18-25 with a young woman, probably his
wife. However, this family does not appear to be a neighbor to other Freemans. A 1798 deed indicates land with a "... patent by William Freeman". This land
was sold from Jonadab Russ's son James to William Jones. It appears that James
Freeman owned the land described by the patent around 1780. The land was later
owned by the Russ family, who sold it to the Jones family before 1800. In 1838 Risen Freeman, planter and Mary his wife sold land to F. M. Freeman.
The 1850 census indicates Risen Freeman and Mary had children William Freeman
(1823), Maurice G. Freeman (1827), a girl (1839) and Mary J. Freeman (1837). A site today is on the Bladen Co. map called "Freeman," across from Galeed
Church and Cemetery. This land was once owned by descendants of Stephen Freeman. The following families appear for the first time in Bladen County, "across
the river" in 1850 and are not known to be related to this John Freeman, Sr. 1850 census indicates Maurice H. Freeman and wife Sarah, (1823) had David J.
Freeman (1848) and Anna J. Freeman (1850). 1850 census indicates Jacob Freeman (1802) and wife Elizabeth (1802),
children Margaret A. Freeman (1829), Amy C. Freeman (1839). 1850 census indicates James H. Freeman (1815) and wife Sarah J. (1817),
children Sarah P. Freeman (1846), Ann M. Freeman (1847) and Mary C. Freeman
(1850). ---------------------------------------------------------------- One Nancy Freeman married Jacob Bryan in Robeson Co., by 1805, and named a
child Rebecca Hester Bryan. This Mary could be closely related to John Freeman,
whose family had marriages with Hester family members. Memo: 4 generations Notes for Eleanor [Unknown]: John Freeman, Sr. may have had two wives. Nancy is clearly identified in
deeds of 1833, while in 1822 a deed to son-in-law Brayton Singletary does not
mention his wife, who may have already died. Where the commonly-reported name
Eleanor has been recorded is not known by this writer. Children of John Freeman and Eleanor [Unknown] are: + 2 i. Mary2 Freeman, born Bef. 1800 in Bladen

Brayton Singletary Abt. 1818 in Bladen Co., NC, son of William Singletary
and Susannah Harrison. He was born 15 Jan 1795 in Bladen Co., NC, and died 18

1805, and died Bef. Aug 1836. He married Dorothy Nance Aft. 1820,
daughter of Joseph Nance and Mary Singletary. She died Aft. 1840. Notes for Stephen Freeman: Possibly a son of John Freeman, Sr. of Bladen Co., whose sons lived adjacent
to Dorothy, Stephen's widow. DNA records indicate that Stephen and William's
share significant common DNA and there is a 99.9% chance they are very closely
related. Notes for Dorothy Nance: Dorothy probably was born between 1795 and 1805. If she was about the same
age as Steven, he could have been a son of John Freeman, Sr. (otherwise may have
been a brother). Dorothy lived adjacent to William and John (Jr.), sons of John
Freeman, Sr. for the 1840 census. In 1840, Dorothy was head of household, 30-40, had living with her a boy
(5-10) and a girl (15-20). State of North Carolina Know all men by these presnets that whereas Mary
